According to my sources, a gentleman just came back from England with the following information. ITV wanted to buy the Dr. Who series. The BBC almost sold it to them. I do not know who backed out, but the reason is tied to the fact that the BBC wanted to have overseas rights to the stories that they have produced for 5 years after the sale of Dr. Who. ITV didn't like that. I guess they wanted all or nothing. It keeps looking as if the idea that the BBC will cancel the Doctor after next season is looking like more of a reality. We will have to wait and see. Let's put Michael Grade in a time-loop, never to be heard of again. -- |------------| | |-------| o| JVC HRD725U Mr. Video | | | o| |--------------| | | | | | |----| o o o | | |-------| O| |--------------| |------------| VHS Hi-Fi (the only way to go) (!ihnp4!uwvax!astroatc!nic_vax!brown)
